Domaine Van Aalderen Vin de France Le Cisso
Winery notes
Produced from the traditional vines of the red wines from the Bordeaux region, le Cisso ist the ‘original’ wine from this vineyard. Planted in the soil of the Nizas-Pézenas region, the vine stocks, which are planted in the scree of Villafranchien (bank gravel, sand, and stones) rarely suffer from dryness. The result is a fruity and generous wine.
Note on the taste
With a significant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, le Cisso has a rather ample profile but it’s also straight-forward. It’s dark color is a preview of the complex taste of ripe fruits (blackcurrant and rasberry), its sweet spices and a woody aroma. Its mouth feel, sa bouche, is suave, intense, and marked by some hints of licorice and vanilla.
This vin de garde is ideal for a meal of beef or of game with sauce.
